Like bad journalism, there will always be doomsayers who think the sky is falling.

Even though I see the potential for American/western civilization to collapse, I also see the way so many fight to keep the idiots from dragging it down.


" In other words, society only degenerates since it is always the lowest common denominator... " maybe im losing it, but that sentence has a lot of words but says and means nothing


"Well, every macro cycle will showcase a complete breakdown. Like the breakdown of the bicameral mind in prior macro cycles. Obviously Atlantis was in a prior macro cycle or pre-History as some call it..."

Since there is absolutely no evidence to support any kind of Break down at any point this proves nothing.


secondly you reference a theory on awareness referencing the Bicameral mind, that at its core is flawed..."Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" one of many conclusion Jaynes reached while studying the Iliad was

* Iliadic man did not have subjectivity as do we; he had no awareness of his awareness of the world, no internal mind space to introspect upon. In distinction to our own subjective conscious minds, we can call the mentality of the Myceneans a bicameral mind. Volition, planning, initiative is organized with no consciousness whatever and then 'told' to the individual in his familiar language, sometimes with the visual aura of a familiar friend or authority figure or 'god', or sometimes as a voice alone. The individual obeyed these hallucinated voices because he could not 'see' what to do by himself. . .

secondly anytime Atlantis is raised in a argument to prove a point it just results in not being taken seriously. No matter whether existed or not, for any to say or insinuate that they have Knowledge of Atlantis and or its supposed ancient lore or history is flat out fabrication. for that evidence to exist there would be no debate on the existence of a land or City Called Atlantis.


"I am sorry, but your definition of age must not be the same as mine! To me an age is directly related to the perceived precessional movement of the Earth or around 25K years but I would say the the half cycle or around 12.5K years would also be very meaningfull since one achieves flow reversal at half cycles... "\

definition of AGE: historic period: an era of history having some distinctive feature; example; "we live in a litigious age"

Age
a. A period in the history of humankind marked by a distinctive characteristic or achievement: the Stone Age; the computer age.
b. A period in the history of the earth, usually shorter than an epoch: the Ice Age.
c. A period of time marked by the presence or influence of a dominant figure: the Elizabethan Age.

Semantics a game played when at a loss for words.

if we are in Decline societal wise, its because people no longer try to learn, nor care to learn, they parrot what they hear, right or wrong, accept fantasy over fact and only believe what suits their world view...." violence has no place in the world, people are peaceful by nature, just talk it over with you enemy they will understand. Religion is worthless and a crutch for weak minds, Science is false and a tool of Satan. Aliens built everything in the past becuase people back then were stupid."

Society is changing, for better or worse who knows, society always changes. sometimes they fall, sometimes they change so much they seem to dissappear. but change happens. its not the end of the world.
